What customers say
This Napoleon Smoking Starter Kit is highly regarded as a quality, durable entry point for adding authentic smoke flavor, especially for Napoleon gas grill owners. Reviewers consistently praise the robust stainless steel smoker box, noting its superior construction compared to cheaper alternatives that fail under heat. Its ease of use makes the transition to smoking seamless for beginners. While the smoke generation is effective for shorter sessions, experienced users suggest the output may not be intense enough for very long cooks. A minor drawback is the limited initial supply of wood chips. Overall, the kit offers substantial value as a reliable, well built tool for enhancing grilled food flavor.
Know before you buy
Yes, soaking the chips is required for this kit. Soaking helps prevent the wood from igniting too quickly, allowing it to smolder and produce the consistent smoke needed for flavor infusion.
Yes, the smoker tube is compatible with most gas grills. As long as you have enough space on your sear plates or cooking grates to place the 12-inch tube, it will function effectively regardless of the grill manufacturer.
Place the filled tube directly on the sear plates above a lit burner. For the best smoke production, keep the grill temperature low and ensure the tube is positioned where it can receive consistent heat to keep the chips smoldering.
Absolutely. Mixing the wood chip varieties is encouraged to create custom smoke profiles. You can experiment with different combinations to find the perfect balance for specific meats like beef, pork, or poultry.
No, this kit is designed specifically for hot smoking and grilling. It requires the heat from your grill's burners to ignite the chips and generate smoke, making it unsuitable for cold smoking applications.
